🌟 Kudos to Mrs. Maureen Sapienza for seamlessly applying the WICOR "Inquiry" strategies in her classroom! 🌟 In her nursing course, students were given a case study and challenged to highlight relevant information to answer questions using evidence to support their reasoning. 💡 By honing their critical thinking skills, they learned how to make split-second decisions—an essential skill in nursing, where quick, informed choices can make all the difference. 🩺 This inquiry-based approach not only deepened their understanding but also prepared them for real-world situations where critical thinking is key. Amazing work, Mrs. Sapienza, for empowering the next generation of nurses! 👏💙 #WICORInquiry #CriticalThinking #FutureNurses #MCHSEducators #RealWorldSkills #InquiryInAction #EmpowerStudents
